'Reconciliation' is just a smokescreen
Play
Here's a difference between the Thai government and most others: If other governmental leaders took four months off, nothing much would change in their countries.
If the current Thai government leaders took off for four months, things would improve here. One big reason is due to the Pheu Thai Party’s insistence that there is polarisation that needs “reconciliation”. However, that’s a smokescreen to try and get former prime minister Thaksin to return without him having to take legal responsibility for his earlier trespasses.
Thai people actually get along quite well with one other. If allowed to go about their business, and the legal system is allowed to do what it’s trained to do, then things will settle down. The false banner of “reconciliation” continues to be unfurled by PT in order to create fears of disunity, and to ultimately bring back their hero.
